Hi, I have now healthy servers again on FreeBSD without crashes. The testserver, where I dont restart hlds every morning, have over 24 hours of uptime.
This are the steps I have done. Upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE. Use the 2.6.16 kernel linux ABI instead of the default 2.4.2 kernel linux ABI. Use an more up-to-date version of linux_base. I use gentoo 2008.0, I prefer it over fedora8, due to the amount of dependencies that are needed. I have not tested to see if fedora8 works. Since I had several servers running hlds, I wrote up a install script that configure, fetches, unpack and setup the linux_base. I have the script available here: ftp://fa1.pvp.se/freebsd/install_gentoo_2008_2.6.16.bash ftp://fa2.pvp.se/freebsd/install_gentoo_2008_2.6.16.bash The script does more or less what the port does. I started to rewrite the Makefile to update the port, but it took longer than write this script since I am not familiar to write the Makefiles for ports. Just run the script after you have updated FreeBSD and removed the old linux_base. On top of not getting the server to crash, the server seems to run more smoothly. Like less choke. Enjoy! /Bjorn _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
